There is no greater joy than seeing a fat fuckin’ four hour Film Junk episode sitting in my downloads. Keep up the great work.

I was concerned when I didn’t see the new show posted Monday/yesterday. But a 4 hour megathon is worth the wait. Thx Filmjunkers!

So Sean is way into Rooney Mara? I don’t blame him, she’s very attractive.

“Nothing can stop me. I just block it out like shooting free throws” Line of the episode!

Realized after recording that I forgot to mention Rust and Bone, which I enjoyed. It didn’t quite live up to the trailer, but it was still a good watch. Marion Cotillard is amazing in it.

Also, forgot to mention how obnoxious the sound design was in Here Comes the Devil. All of the audio is heightened to the point where every breath and every movement (rustling of clothing, etc.) is obnoxiously loud and distracting.

Note that 2 of the 5 longest episodes of FJ were ones that I did guest spots on. Glad it was a good TIFF for you guys, and glad we touched base a few times during the fest…

What was the Rooney Mara thing? it was like Frank opened a closet and found a weird collection of pics, clipping and jars of her toenails.

Was Sean caught jerkin it to pictures of Rooney Mara from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in the middle of the show… again?!

Jay’s criticism of the doc about The Shining brings up a key point about documentaries and how they’re judged differently than fiction movies. Docs are often praised for the subject more than the filmmaking. Film Junk (and particularly Jay) have made me realize that over the years. The docs that get all the awards and hype are only being judged by the information they present rather than how they tell a story. It’s why stuff like Anvil doesn’t get nominated for Oscars; the subject wasn’t political or “shocking.” As a movie, it was better than the docs that get nominated in that it was a well told story about interesting characters. Too often, people equate documentaries to stuff you see on news magazine shows like 20/20. It may inform you on an interesting subject, but that’s not the only job of a documentary. It should also be held to the same standards of filmmaking as dramatic films.
